Rose Royce is an iconic American R&B and soul band that made an indelible mark on the music scene in the 1970s. Hailing from Los Angeles, California, the group was originally formed in the early 70s and experienced significant success under the production of Norman Whitfield, who had previously worked with The Temptations and other Motown legends. Rose Royce is best known for their hit single "Car Wash," which became a smash success, reaching No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The track was the title song of the 1976 motion picture "Car Wash" and established the band as a household name with its infectious groove and catchy refrain.

Throughout their career, Rose Royce has delivered a string of hits that resonated with audiences worldwide. Their poignant ballad "Love Don't Live Here Anymore" charted on the Billboard Hot 100, while dance floor favorites like "Is It Love You're After" and "Magic Touch" notched impressive positions on the UK Chart. The band's fusion of soulful melodies and upbeat disco rhythms led to a unique and compelling sound that ruled the airwaves. Rose Royce continued to perform and release music into the 21st century, embodying the enduring spirit of a generation with live albums like "Live in Concert" and new renditions of their classics, such as the "Car Wash (Re-Recorded - Sped Up)." Their influence can still be felt today, not just in the samples and covers by contemporary artists, but also in their dedicated fan base and the undying appeal of their timeless music.
